CONSTANTLY ON: Low engine
oil pressure (red)
FLASHING: Engine oil deteriorated
(for versions/markets, where provided - red)
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light comes on, but should
go out as soon as the engine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on constantly (along with a
message on the display on some versions) when the system detects that
engine oil pressure is low.
If the warning light
turns on when driving (on
some versions, together with the message on the display),
stop the car immediately and contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services.
2. Engine oil deteriorated
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light will turn on flashing and, on some versions, with a
specific message on the display.
Depending on the versions, the warning light flashing modes are as
follows:
❒for 1 minute every two hours;
❒cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the warning light off for 5
seconds until the oil is changed.After the first indication, at each engine start up the warning light will
continue flashing as described above until the oil is changed. On some
versions, the display shows a dedicated message together with the
warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the car is defective,
but simply informs the driver that it is now necessary to change the
oil as a result of regular vehicle use.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is accelerated by:
❒mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF regeneration
process more frequent;
❒use of the car for short drives, in which the engine does not have
time to reach its regular operating temperature;
❒repeated interruption of the regeneration process, signalled by the
DPF warning light coming on.
If the warning light switches on, the deteriorated
engine oil must be changed as soon as possible, and
never more than 500 km from the first time that the
warning light switches on. Failure to observe the above
indications may result in severe damage to the engine and
invalidate the warranty. The activation of this warning light is not
related to the amount of oil in the engine. Therefore, never top
up with oil when the warning light starts flashing.
